JIMMY BULLARD has admitted he would have loved to have played for Rangers during his career.

The former Wigan, Fulham and Hull City midfielder, who turned down a loan move to Celtic in 2010 due to his wife being pregnant, was at Murray Park to film a feature for Soccer AM and spoke of his regret at never playing for a big club during his career.

The 36-year-old said: "This is a proper football club. I couldn't believe how sharp all the boys were. It's a massive football club.

"I had the chance to sign for Celtic and it was one I wish I went to to give me Champions League football but didn't take it because the missus was pregnant and there were a couple of little issues in the contract that I wasn't happy with but now I'm here, and I look a lot better in blue.

"For me it is all about timing. I've always wanted to play Premier League football but if the timing was right and it was the right manager and I liked the things he said then without a shadow of a doubt.

"I've never played for a big football club and for me, Rangers is one of the biggest football clubs so I'd have jumped at the chance if the timing was right."
